With "Musique de Chambre" Serge Blenner publishes his
seventeenth and most demanding work. On this new album the master
of electronic music sends a complete virtual chamber orchestra
on stage. Came out is a sound enormous music - full of soul! Serge
Blenner creates it to breathe the electronic music life. The sensitive
and melodic tracks device the listeners into dreams while listening
the wonderful and filigree piano, the blowers and the pearling
chimes, of "Les Perles" or the urgent soprano voices,
the harps and the string players of "Symbiose". It is
a very special sound of classical music, created by an extraordinary
composer.

Sweeping work of this French artist, his album is number 17 and
possibly the best of his career and arguably the most classic.
Believe it is all made up for it by computer using asound library
of the Orchestra of Vienna and a library of voices of divas. Other
programs have used the Qbase and a Pentium IV processor to recreate
this wonderful work. Listen to a refined and smooth vocal voices
that make us shudder with excitement by creating a totally contemporary
work with an air-filled romantic melodies. Blenner have been turned
into his last works on classical composer moving farther away
from his earlier work more synthetic.

“In "Miroir de Soi", there is a great variety of
styles, colors, emotions, that Serge Blenner is able to reflect
in his compositions. The music is melodic, with cosmic touches and
others typical of Classical Music. Several pieces are dominated
by a majestic character. Others sound mysterious, sinister, like
for instance "Illumination". A certain nostalgic air is
present in most of the themes. The orchestrations are very well
built, enhancing the impact of the music. The use of synthesizers
enhances the nightly, sensual atmospheres, that appear in some of
the compositions, and is likewise useful as a vehicle for innovative
ideas”.Hector Jordan, Amazing

"In the twelve tracks included in this CD, Serge Blenner shows
once again his good work in the ambient and contemporary musical
universe. He himself explains this album as the 15th. chapter of
what he calls "Computer Acoustic Music". The remarkable
combination of electronic textures with orchestral passages the
artist realizes results in a successful creation wrapped in sophisticated
melodies brimming with poetry".Mireille Aubert, Amazing
Sounds (Spain)

"Serge Blenner is one of the long time great of Euro EM. His
first album was released in the golden age of the 1970's and still
today he keeps on producing great music. This brand new album contains
all the classic Euro electronic elements - brisk sequences, dramatic
melodies and dense symphonic textures, all refracted by Blenner's
mastery of the technical medium, into a prismatic collage of multi-hued
timbres. Be it up tempo, or dark ambient, Serge will provoke the
space between your ears with "Virtualis".Archie Patterson, Eurock (USA)

"Ars Oratoria" released on his own label, it's one of
the best works he's done in some time. A series of spatial tracks
it ranges the full electronic spectrum from space music to orchestral,
symphonic to progressive ambient. In all 72:46 of pure EM magic".
Archie Patterson, Eurock (USA)

"God, this is really good! The disc opens in dramatic fashion
with a real synth orchestral extravaganza a six minute dramatic
piece that sounds like it's been lifted out of some high tension,
action movie quite a surprise indeed!... One thing is for sure,
this CD is very different from any other Synth music CD doing the
rounds at the moment - the music has a very strong, almost orchestral
feel at times, it is dynamic, grandiose and attention grabbing with
loads going on as classical and cosmic music meet head on to create
a vibrant new sound that I don't think anyone will be expecting.
Hell, he even brings an infectious sequencer rhythm in half way
through a sweeping synth orchestral passage and it really does work.
Overall, I think this is a truly inventive, melodic, adventurous
work that is extremely easy to get on with, once you get over the
initial shock, and it's great to hear someone in the 'EM' field
going out and doing something completely different and making such
a great job of it too!".
Dave Shoesmith, Compact

"This new studio album from Serge Blenner combines short movements
and interludes with more standard length compositions that are hard
to equal in their excellence. If you have not closely listened to
a Blenner album, treat yourself !".
Bradford Warner, SoundDesign
(USA)

"His album is a good example of the excellent imagination of
Serge Blenner. His music is characterized by a great diversity of
ideas and emotions. From the precise instant of the beginning of
the album, we witness a display of creative, sonic energy of a high
degree. In his very personal style, the artist takes us through
a voyage to amazing worlds, full of emotions and adventures. During
the 21 themes that constitute this release, we can perceive elements
of Classical Music, Ambient, Space, World Music, and others from
different origins. The pieces are very innovative and complex, yet
at the same time they are easy to listen to".
Edgar Kogler, Amazing

"On the track "Organique", French composer Blenner
Serge takes the experimentalism of the Beatles "Revolution
# 9" and melds it with the bewildering arrangements of Bob
Graettinger. Serge starts off where groups like Sonic Youth and
Dead C (at their most explorative) left off and ventures into new
classical territories rarely attempted by modern composers.Blenner
Serge might fall into the category of "incorrect music"
(AKA "difficult") sounds and tunes that are so awful,
wretched and oddly unique that they carry a peculiar charm about
them. Think the Star Spangled Banner crossed with a funeral dirge
and you'll get a feel for what Serge is all about".

Amour 1997
"So ist dieses Album ein Geheimtip für Hörer, die
von zeitgenössischer Musik mehr als nur seichte Unterhaltung
erwarten".
Oliver Stegger, Musikwoche (Germany)

"The artist offers us his mastery at creating a work full of
beauty and mystery, with melodies that in some accasions tend to
be of a melodic romanticism, while in other instances they have
an enigmatic, or even a dark air".
Jorge Munnshe, Amazing
Sounds (Spain)

"Amour is what many musicians strive for their entire career
- a moving, yet restrained work that can simultaneously reveal artful
sensitivity and technical accomplishment. From the opening melancholy
melodics of "The Deserts", that could serve well as a
motion picture´s opening title soundtrack, to the resplendent
tones of "Voyage", Blenner leads the listener through
a variety of well wrought sound- scapes. "Amour" may be
one of Blenner's finest albums to date, which is saying quite a
bit in a solo career spanning nearly 2 decades".Bradford Warner, SoundDesign
(USA)
Vision et Poésie 1995
"...the whole thing is conducted with equal talent and subtlety.
Doubtlessly an aesthetic music".Fréquence (France)

"Upbeat rhythms, sparkling melodies, and some characteristically
grand chord patterns make "Vision et Poésie" yet
another fine creation by Serge Blenner. While his French counterpart
J-M Jarre has been bringing spectacle to the majority of Europe
over the last few years, Blenner has been making an impact in subtler
style. Evolving his hard to categorize sound with everything from
orchestral samples to human voice, Blenner remains the more sonically
adventurous of the two, despite remaining very accessible in style".
Bradford Warner, SoundDesign
(USA)
La Vogue & Magazin Frivole 1995
"This CD gathers together, in a very much expected re-released
by Serge Blenner´s fans, his two first albums, released in
1980 and 1981 respectively. These are two legendary works, where
the composer proved his great imagination by creating a powerful
electronic music...".Jorge Munnshe, Amazing
Sounds (Spain)
Musique Esthétique Vol.2 1993
"This is a compilation of tracks from three previous albums
(1985-1987) plus two unrealeased tracks... here he offers an hour
of fourteen soundtracks each resplendent in vibrant, colourful synthesis...
an introduction to his many talents".
Graham Needham, Cyber
Noise (England)

"Another great album from this French born man. "Symbolique"
is yet another superbly sculptured album that I enjoyed from beginning
to end. Twelve purely defined compositions that are played and recorded
with a finesse that takes the breath away, superb !".
Graham Needham, Cyber Noise (England)

"The latest release from the French synthesist who has long
laboured in the shadow of Jarre, but who seems to have eclipsed
him in inventiveness and diversity. This work harkens back to the
melodic days of "La Dimension Prochaine" and such, melodic
electronic music at its most pleasant".Dirk Dra, (USA)
Libération 1992
"...Der Meister der elektronischen Symphonie... Nichts was
den Stempel "Blenner" trägt, erinnert auch nur von
fern an die Produktionen der Konkurrenz".
Albrecht Piltz, Keyboards (Germany)

"This album is an incredible voyage into the world of atmospheric
synthesis and soundtrack emphasis and it is basically brillant.
Very, very highly recommended".
Graham Needham, Cyber Noise (England)

"This is the latest release from the French synthesist. His
music has matured to a good degree from the fluffy, upbeat works
of the early eighties, two of which were released domestically.
"Liberation" features much more varied and intelligent
usage of synth textures, giving the tracks a orchestral, neo-classical
feel, sprinkled with sequenced, rhythmic melodies in the background.
Blenner shows that the adventu- rous spirit is still alive in the
French electronics scene. The fifteen tracks span just a bit more
than 72 minutes, utilising the capacity of the media to good effect,
which, in my opinion, is also a positive thing. In summary, this
is high-quality electronic music that should appeal to those who
enjoy the Berlin electronics sound, Jarre, and prior Blenner output".Dirk Dra, (USA)
Babylone 1991 "Wer
einmal in "Babylone" hineingehört hat, den wird dieses
Album lange Zeit nicht loslassen, allen anderen entgehet eine
der spannendsten Veröffentlichungen der letzten Zeit".
Albrecht Piltz, Keyboards (Germany)

"The Foreman of Gentle sounding Eurodigitalism, Serge Blenner,
has given a new portion of classical- oriental bytestream on his
later laser-disc...the greatest merits of this disc-among ambitiousness
and musicalness- are in its airy and light form".
Jaakko Reäpuu (Finland)

"Although a major force in the European Music scene, Serge
Blenner´s unique lyrical romantic style can best be traced
to his French roots".Billboard (USA)

"Looking at the tape overlay, the first impression you'll get
is a weird one as it suggests one's mind consciousness opening to
another dimension. As you listen, this music will undoubtedly do
this to you. The upbeat music follows in the steps of J.M. Jarre's
European sound but has even more to offer than a chain of sequences.
With four selections on each side (rarely less than four minutes
apiece), you'll definitely get your fill. I'd tell this Frenchman
that it was a good project to produce, and should be proud of it...Good."Alex Rad, All Music Guide (USA)
Plaisir Ardent 1985
"...fliessende Ambience-Musik zum verweilen und traumen...
liebevoll verspielt mit französischem Charme und Leichtikeit.
Sehr sorgfältig aufgenommen und perfekt produziert".Music Scene (Schweiz)
Fracture Interne 1982
" ...Seine zwölf kurzen Kompositionen sind hingehauchte,
barocke Fragmente, schöne Hintergrunds musik die seltsam unfertig
wirkt und nur für den Augenblick Sinn ergibt und Bestand zu
haben scheint".
Franziska D. Graf, Sounds (Germany)
